I came across mention of IMAPSync and Larch as tools to move emails out of Gmail to a new email account. Does anyone have any experience using these?
I have a family’s worth of email gmail accounts all of which are running out of space and will need to be moved to a new email provider. They would of course all like to keep their historical sent and recieved emails.
Cheers. Ill have a look . I suspect we will just be using a hosting providers email rather than dedicated email service. (Ideally Id like to run own email server but I have heard that can be a real struggle to keep emails being delivered)
Hosting your own email server is a challenge, as DMARC, SPF and random hand waving by email companies (who should know better) make it needlessly problematic.
There’s also the issue of whether your home ISP allows inbound email ports (25/tcp, etc). A lot don’t.
It’s possible(?) a hosting provider can do decent email, but I tend to think of that like 1990s-era ISPs who provided email: liable to be discontinued at any time with little/no notice and not portable.
But it’s your call. Good luck.
